Three-dimensional flow around a square cylinder near a wall

Effect of a wall on the wake dynamics of an infinite square cylinder

“…The variation of both coefficients is surprisingly close to that measured by Roshko et al (1975) for the case of a circular cylinder. In comparison to other numerical studies, the present values for the drag coefficient are close to those of Mahir (2009) and somewhat lower than those of Kumaran and Vengadesan (2007).…”

Flows past rotating cylinders next to a wall

“…Two-and three-dimensional studies for a square cylinder near a stationary wall have been conducted by Mahir (2009). The mean drag force decreased as the cylinder was brought close to a wall.…”

Computations of incompressible fluid flow around a long square obstacle near a wall: laminar forced flow and thermal characteristics

“…The separation points on a square obstacle are generally placed at the corner points and, as a result, exert significant influences on flow and heat transfer features. The presence of a wall in the neighbourhood of a square obstacle was studied numerically in [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and the detailed discussion on the literature is now available in our recent work [1]. The two-and three-dimensional (3-D) effects were investigated on a square cylinder located at G = 0.2-4 for Re = 175, 185 and 250 [16].…”
